The Psycho-Yuppies: Ben and Chloe

This profile is under construction, but here's a brief summary from the blog:

A year or so, ago, a lot of liberal media commentators claimed that the 2008 crash would end the period of corporate greed, and bring in a new, more socially-aware age with a respect for a stronger Government.

A year in, it seems possible that quite the opposite will happen, as a young generation of business people and financiers looks at the mess, and the weakness of the Government and concludes they might as well be even more self-serving and ruthless. Add to this some nostalgia for the 1980s and the Gordon Gekko ethic as seen in the Spectator, and the increasing celebration of professional business-bastard on TV (Peter Jones, Alan Sugar, Gordon Ramsay) and the alleged growth of libertarian ideas among young conservative MPs, and you have the right conditions for a growth in psycho-yuppies like Ben "I had a place at Sandhurst" Taylor from this year's The Apprentice.

Please try to resist nicking content from this site. If we catch you doing so, we'll be straight on the phone to one of those no-fee legal services that advertise on ITV in the mornings, and they'll be onto you before you can say "Nick Robinson". Do mark these words because we are not kidding.
